My New Home

Date of photo: 8-10-10; This photo was taken during site visit in China. It was the first time I would see my new town. The weather was a miserable 106 degrees and I was feeling frustrated because I hadn't yet mastered the language, however, when I looked at the view from this temple, I felt a sense of relief. I often look at this photo whenever I feel frustrated or homesick to remind myself of how much beauty is around me.
